Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) partnership
Our partnership with Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) provides a pathway with our School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, enabling students to graduate from both institutions in an accelerated timescale.
This ‘1+1’ programme allows students who have successfully completed year one of their Masters programme at BUPT to progress directly to a Leeds MSc. Students successfully completing this two-year study period are awarded a Masters degree from BUPT and a Masters degree from Leeds.

Entry requirements
For admission to Leeds you’ll need to have completed a relevant BUPT undergraduate degree with a GPA of at least 70% (or completed an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject area with at least a 2.1 or equivalent e.g. a GPA of at least 75-85% from a recognised Chinese institution). You will also need to have satisfied the selection criteria for the relevant BUPT’s Masters programme and achieve the English language requirement of IELTS 6.5 overall (with no less than 6.0 in each component) or an equivalent English language qualification.
Improve your English
If you do not meet the English language requirements for Leeds you may be able to study our pre-sessional English course, to help improve your English language level. The pre-sessional course is designed with a progression route to your degree programme and you’ll learn academic English in the context of your subject area. To find out more, read Language for Engineering (6 weeks) and Language for Science: Engineering (10 weeks). If you need to study for longer than 10 weeks, read more about our postgraduate pre-sessional English course.
Fees and scholarships
Once you are enrolled at Leeds you’ll receive a scholarship towards the international tuition fee; this is provided as a partial fee waiver for the programme at Leeds. Please contact Dr Li X Zhang (Leeds) or Wang Wenhua (BUPT) for further information about this scholarship.
Further information and how to apply
You should start the process with BUPT. Following satisfactory initial assessment, you should then apply via the online application system for the Leeds MSc. We strongly recommend that you apply as early as possible to allow time to apply for a visa to study in the UK.
Further guidance is available from the University of Leeds team based in China and you are encouraged to make contact before applying. The team will guide you on how to apply and how to secure a place in University of Leeds accommodation.
